On tap at Blackback Pub.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated immediately. Slim semi-foamy lacing sticks and then slides into the beer.
The smell had some light sweet lemon, subtle Belgian spices, white and black pepper, some sweet orange pulp, sweet grassy hops.
The taste was mainly the same. Sweetness slightly overpowers the bitterness. Sweet orange pulp and slightly bready aftertaste. Wet smooth pepper finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a great sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed to run low enough to allow the spices to hit just right.
Overall, as a Belgian Pale ale it works. I’d have again.

Paulus _ slightly hazy golden orange. Dense but with big bubbles head. The aroma is pretty weak. Certainly a sweet aroma with orange, with a Munich malt aroma. Taste is nice. Very German. Sweet malt, chech hopping honey, very intense malt dry finish.

On tap at The Blackback Pub, Waterbury, VT.
This was poured into a tulip glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy golden yellow to orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately. No lacing.
The smell takes in some sweet orange pulp. Adding in some light sweet lemon, subtle Belgian spices and sweet Belgian sugars. Light bready tones slide in slightly.
The taste was mainly sweet through the previously mentioned flavors, adds in the subtle Belgian aspects nicely. Light citrus aftertaste, sly wet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the breadiness gently poking the bitterness units to combine and hit my tongue nicely - smooth, yeah somewhat.
Overall, not sure why it’s labeled as an IPA on here but after tasting, smelling and feeling it. It seems it’s more of a Belgian IPA, still very nice and I would have it again.

Draught at Row 34, 2/19/16.
Lightly hazy amber-bronze body is topped by a strong, off-white head.
First impressions are varied and show leafy, earthy, woodsy hop notes mixing with very light phenols and some dry, baked bread-like malts and other lighter grain characters. Soft vanilla, and yellow fruit-like esters slowly emerge with warming, while citrus from the centennial stays pretty consistently lemony-grapefruity. No acidity/resin from the nose and no alcohol. Quite light and heady which was surprising, as I would never associate this hop with that.
Flavor starts out just a touch too dry and grainy, but with warming, candied orange peel, white grapefruit, dank, green, woodsy hops and heavily fruity belgian esters all play nicely together, as the malt eventually sweetens things enough to keep the balance and the tight carbonation produces a creamy, lightly soft texture. Quite neo-Belgian, but importantly still very Belgian in the yeast department, with ample ester and phenol pushing through the hops. Moderate bitterness never overwhelms and the balance continues to improve as more malt and yeast character emerges towards the end of the glass. Really nice stuff, as expected.

Tap at Blackback Pub, Waterbury. Colour is cloudy golden with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, citrus, tartness, some tropical fruits, sourness and some malts. Some lactic elements when warming up.

This was poured into a tulip. Oh drat, yeah well.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some light lacing here and there.
The smell had some light dry grassy hops slyly moving into roasty coffee.
The taste was mainly the same. Dry in the aftertaste and finish
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth and light.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good dark lager. I could see myself coming back to this.

Very turbid cloudy burnt orange. 4 fingers cool whip head with some big and small bubbles. Great aroma. Bright and juicy. A good citrus acidity and pine tree with a little sweetness. Good mouthfeel. A bit thin, oily and light on the carb than I’m used to. Pine cone taste with a light clementine peel. Hay, herbs, grass and table sugar.

Draught at Lord Hobo, 1/11/16.
Very hazy, near cloudy, strong copper-golden body has a large white head that shows strong retention.
Aromatic, light, spicy phenols in the nose evoke notes of white and black pepper, dried herbs and there is a definite pear and starfruit-like ester profile that is elegant and reserved. Malts are biscuity, seemingly quite dry from the nose and there’s zero banana/clove/bubble gum. This is the type of Belgian golden ale I want to drink. Even most Belgian Belgian golden ales tend to have moderate clove. Really "heady" smelling and seemingly light with no alcohol or flaw.
Very minimally sweet biscuit malts show just a touch of husk, as pepper, dried herbs and light lemon and pear-like acidity create the main force of flavor. Again no clove, no rich breadiness or caramel character. Nothing forceful or heavy here at all, really. Could use just a touch more softness to the texture, but other than that, can’t complain much here. Hops come across very delicately, adding zero resin. Does not seem Americanized, in the bad sense of the term, at all.

From a Crowler filled today. This smells fantastic. It’s cloudy, orange, smells like a citra IPA. taste is more tart, wheat, great body dense with a spritzy mouthfeel. the bitterness here is really fantastic. it’s tart, good berliner style taste. I think this is incredibly interesting. Might be re-classified as a sour/wild.
